The average age of the vines is about 25 years. The main characteristic of the vineyard is the soil, which is formed an accumulation of rounded pebbles that have been deposited by the overflowing Rhone River thousands of years ago. These pebbles allow the vines to grow in the best possible conditions and due to this natural soil filter; the vine roots can easily draw the necessary water for their growth. The vines also benefit from the Mediterranean sunshine, which bring the grapes to perfect maturity and allows them to be picked at maximum phenolic maturity which assured elegance in the resulting wine.
Chateau de Campuget was established in 1942 and is a top-quality estate near Nîmes, which is steeped in history. The Chateau itself was built in 1753 and at the same time, the first vines were planted, prompting the '1753' range of wines which mark this historic date. Now in the hands of winemaker Franck-Lin Dalle, who is the third generation of his family to run the estate, the fusion of tradition and progression unite in the cellars where Franck-Lin deftly crafts wines with integrity, finesse, and a wonderful expression of terroir from a wide range of traditional Rhône varieties. In 2019, Chateau de Campuget was certified as Haute Valeur Environmental, which officially recognizes the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertilizer use, and water resource management.
